by niwobin, May 17, 2025, 8:17 PM

Triangle ABC has incircle touching the sides at D, E, F as shown.
AD, BE, CF concurrent at Gergonne point G.
BG and CG cuts the incircle at X and Y, respectively.
AG cuts the incircle at K.
Prove: K, X, D, Y form a harmonic quadrilateral. (KX/KY = DX/DY)

Functional Equation from IMO

by prtoi, May 17, 2025, 8:07 PM

Question: $f(2a)+2f(b)=f(f(a+b))$
Solve for f:Z-->Z
My solution:
At a=0, $f(0)+2f(b)=f(f(b))$
Take t=f(b) to get $f(0)+2t=f(t)$
Therefore, f(x)=2x+n where n=f(0)
Could someone please clarify if this is right or wrong?

Combi that will make you question every choice in your life so far

by blug, May 17, 2025, 5:46 PM

$A$ and $B$ are standing in front of the room in which there is $C$. They know that there is a chessboard in the room and that on every square there is a coin. Every coin is black on one side and white on the other side and is flipped randomly. $A$ enters the room and then $C$ points at exactly one square on the chessboard. After that, $A$ must flip exactly one coin of his choice on the chessboard to the other side and leave. Finally, $B$ enters the room ($A$ and $B$ haven't met again after $A$ entered the room) and he has to guess which square did $C$ point at.
What strategy do $A$ and $B$ have that will make this happen every time?

can you solve this..?

Concurrence of lines defined by intersections of circles

by Lukaluce, Apr 14, 2025, 10:57 AM

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle and $A_1, B_1$, and $C_1$ be the feet of the altitudes from $A, B$, and $C$, respectively. On the rays $AA_1, BB_1$, and $CC_1$, we have points $A_2, B_2$, and $C_2$ respectively, lying outside of $\triangle ABC$, such that
\[\frac{A_1A_2}{AA_1} = \frac{B_1B_2}{BB_1} = \frac{C_1C_2}{CC_1}.\]If the intersections of $B_1C_2$ and $B_2C_1$, $C_1A_2$ and $C_2A_1$, and $A_1B_2$ and $A_2B_1$ are $A', B'$, and $C'$ respectively, prove that $AA', BB'$, and $CC'$ have a common point.

Hard Geometry

by Jalil_Huseynov, Dec 26, 2021, 7:10 PM

Let triangle $ABC$ be a triangle with incenter $I$ and circumcircle $\Omega$ with circumcenter $O$. The incircle touches $CA, AB$ at $E, F$ respectively. $R$ is another intersection point of external bisector of $\angle BAC$ with $\Omega$, and $T$ is $\text{A-mixtillinear}$ incircle touch point to $\Omega$. Let $W, X, Z$ be points lie on $\Omega$. $RX$ intersect $AI$ at $Y$ . Assume that $R \ne X$. Suppose that $E, F, X, Y$ and $W, Z, E, F$ are concyclic, and $AZ, EF, RX$ are concurrent.
Prove that
$\bullet$ $AZ, RW, OI$ are concurrent.
$\bullet$ $\text{A-symmedian}$, tangent line to $\Omega$ at $T$ and $WZ$ are concurrent.

Algebra form IMO Shortlist

by Abbas11235, Jul 10, 2018, 11:54 AM

Let $q$ be a real number. Gugu has a napkin with ten distinct real numbers written on it, and he writes the following three lines of real numbers on the blackboard:
  • In the first line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $a-b$, where $a$ and $b$ are two (not necessarily distinct) numbers on his napkin.
  • In the second line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $qab$, where $a$ and $b$ are
    two (not necessarily distinct) numbers from the first line.
  • In the third line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $a^2+b^2-c^2-d^2$, where $a, b, c, d$ are four (not necessarily distinct) numbers from the first line.
Determine all values of $q$ such that, regardless of the numbers on Gugu's napkin, every number in the second line is also a number in the third line.

IMO 2011 Problem 6

by liberator, Jul 21, 2015, 4:57 PM

Problem: Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcircle $\Gamma$. Let $\ell$ be a tangent line to $\Gamma$, and let $\ell_a, \ell_b$ and $\ell_c$ be the lines obtained by reflecting $\ell$ in the lines $BC$, $CA$ and $AB$, respectively. Show that the circumcircle of the triangle determined by the lines $\ell_a, \ell_b$ and $\ell_c$ is tangent to the circle $\Gamma$.

Multiple of multinomial coefficient is an integer

by orl, Mar 7, 2009, 8:00 PM

For $ a_i \in \mathbb{Z}^ +$, $ i = 1, \ldots, k$, and $ n = \sum^k_{i = 1} a_i$, let $ d = \gcd(a_1, \ldots, a_k)$ denote the greatest common divisor of $ a_1, \ldots, a_k$.
Prove that $ \frac {d} {n} \cdot \frac {n!}{\prod\limits^k_{i = 1} (a_i!)}$ is an integer.
